I would recommend this book for Orlando fans. It has very large pictures and seems to be well researched. There are three reasons that it fell short of five stars. It tends to veer off of the subject of Orlando quite a bit. There is a lot of information about Harry Bloom, J.R.R. Tolkien, and the Black Hawk Down incident. Also, it lists Gabriel Byrne as Fritz in Haven. That is incorrect, Gabriel Byrne dropped out of the project. Fritz was played by Victor Rasuk. And finally, it reuses a picture of Orlando smiling and winking at the Hollywood Film Festival awards. They flipped it and used it, then flipped it back and cropped it and used it again.

But overall, it's pretty good.

i have always loved orlando bloom - i'll admit it's the reason i watched the Lord of the Rings series in the first place. but, then, i grew to find he was more than just cute - the magazines, books, Internet stories, and biographies revealed him to be a very admirable person. the first five pages of this great biography have turned my view around - obviously there is a whole other side to this star. i can't wait to finish reading it!

Bought this for my niece, who is 17. She really enjoyed it. I didn't get a chance to look at it but I'd venture to say that if you have a teen who really loves Orlando, she will love this book.
